You people are pathetic. So much for presumed innocent until proven guilty. It makes me think you have a personal vendetta against him. Maybe your guy didn't make the cut for Bitcoin foundation.  Maybe work for Visa MasterCard or a major bank that is threatened by Bitcoin. Are you lobbyists?   Have you been consigned to disrupt the Bitcoin ecosystem and take everyone eye off of the real goal of spreading the word about how Bitcoin and other alt currencies will disrupt the old boys club of international wealth and let mainstream people bank for themselves without fees and restrictions?  Maybe you're too naïve to understand that there are legal proceedings in which innocent people are not allowed to speak about it. The inability to speak about a legal case does not imply guilt.  Yet many of you are ready to crucify Mr. Pierce without any personal knowledge of him or any circumstances surrounding allegations.  At best you're ill informed and naive, at worst you are hired guns trying to bring us all down and hiding like cowards behind internet anonymity.
